Ante Sundaraniki: How well do Nani and Nazriya know one another? Watch this video to know

Directed by Vivek Athreya, the rom-com also stars Nadhiya, Rohini, Harshavardhan and Rahul Ramakrishna

Nazriya and Nani

It’s getting increasingly tricky for producers to convince audiences to hit theatres week after week - new promotional strategies are the need of the hour. Thankfully, Ante Sundaraniki, actor Nani’s next release on June 10, has managed to evoke curiosity with whatever little that is out in the public. This is director Vivek Athreya’s next after Brochevarevarura and also marks the Telugu debut of Nazriya Fahadh.

Earlier this week, Nani and Nazriya, who play Sundar and Leela in the film, engaged in a fun chat in a promotional video where they test how well they know each other. From what we get to see, we do realise that they have a fair understanding of one another. The co-stars share a buddy-like rapport in the interaction and one can’t wait to see how much of this camaraderie translates onto the big screen.

While it’s Nani who has the last laugh, Nazriya isn’t too far either. The former gets it right with Nazriya’s favourite app - Instagram (as much as Whatsapp), her sun-sign (Sagittarius), favourite holiday destination (Europe) and even imitates her mannerisms. Nazriya thinks Nani is obsessed with Twitter, tells the latter’s favourite film is Thalapathi and that he gets pissed off when someone isn’t listening to him keenly on set.

The unconventional pairing between Nani and Nazriya is one of the biggest USPs of Ante Sundaraniki. Though the plot about a conservative man falling for a woman of a different religion isn’t exactly new, the treatment appears mature and funny. Y Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni of Mythri Movie Makers are producing the film.
